Chapter 188: Strangulation
While Locke was confused, the scene was still developing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"We have to tell our employer! We also have the right to enjoy the value of the machines we produce! The pincers were still stirring up the goblins around them.
"But we've done it before, and we've failed, haven't we?" A goblin with clear glasses said cautiously. "I think we'd better talk to Baron Zacks, you see?"
"If we anger the Prince of Trade, we will suffer greatly." Another goblin disagreed.
"You cowards!" Iron Tong roared angrily, "It is because of your cowardice that we have become like this! We make a lot of wealth, but as makers, we are so poor that we can't even afford decent clothes! ”
Iron tongs rummaged through the green, tattered clothes he was wearing and shouted, "Look at it! I bought this dress in Tanaris five years ago! It cost me 10 credits! Just 10 silver coins drained me of a fifth of all my deposits! ”
"And the planes we make! You know the parts, you know? Iron Tong sneered at all the goblins around him, "They were actually offered to humans for 500 gold coins!!! ”
The goblins hidden in the darkness around them let out a shocked sound.
"You say! Is this fair?! The sound of the pincers broke through the sky, and the surrounding goblins fell silent as the sound distorted.
"We're not rebelling, we just want to improve our treatment, that's all." Iron Tong soothed his emotions, and then said slowly, "We are also goblins, and we also love money. In the same way, we love to make and invent. We just want to be able to get a certain amount of material enjoyment while inventing. ”
"That's all."
The iron tong silently climbed down from the table and sat down in the corner of the generous table.
"Iron Tong is right, we can't put up with it like this." A goblin next to the iron pincer also made a sound of approval, "If technology is not respected, we might as well become a soldier, and then we will have a few silver coins a month." ”
"It's a great opportunity for us to be away from the hot sand port." Another goblin voiced his opinion, "The human lords here are very attentive to our machines. We can continue to research and create under his patronage. Looking at the treatment he gave to those airship construction engineers, the treatment of us joining them will definitely not be low. ”
"I think we can express our appeal to Baron Zacks first." The goblin thought for a moment, "Of course, this is done in the name of the Goblin Labor Federation and the Federation of Industrial Trade Unions, this organization. ”
"If Zax doesn't agree! Then we will destroy the production tools and smash all the equipment for the construction of aircraft parts! Then, we ask the human lords for refuge. ”
"Now, let's vote." Iron Tong stood up, he glanced at all the goblins in the surrounding circle, "Agree to the establishment, goblin labor federation and industrial union federation, please raise your hand!" ”
In the room, except for a few goblins sitting around the generous table who did not raise their hands, all the shadowy goblins around them raised their hands.
Iron Claw turned his head to look at the goblins around him who were excitedly supporting him, and he smiled and raised his hand.
Soon, one by one, the goblins sitting around the generous table all raised their hands.
"Excellent! Then I announce! The Goblin Labor Confederation and the Confederation of Industrial Trade Unions were officially established..."
"Excuse me! I'll interrupt! ”
A sudden human voice interrupted the pincer's smug words.
All the goblins present snapped and turned their heads to the place where the human sounds sounded.
Out of nowhere, a few spotlights that glowed faintly shone towards Locke.
At the same time, there was a roaring discussion of goblins in this room.
"Why is there a human being in this sacred place?!"
"Can anyone explain?!"
"Damn it! Are we exposed?! I think we need to retreat first! ”
"Oh my God! I raised my hand just now! I hope you didn't see it..."
"Oh? Did I raise my hand? You must be dazzled! ”
The thunderous goblin language continued to reach Locke's ears.
The reason why Locke had to interrupt the goblin conversation was that they wanted to form the Goblin Labor Federation and the Industrial Union Federation.
This organization cannot be established, not to mention whether there is such an organization in the history of WOW. But this organization is an organization that competes with the capitalists.
And now, Locke is the biggest capitalist in Lordaeron....
This organization was formed under his nose, and no matter what race it was, it needed to be killed immediately. Otherwise, what if it is transmitted to humans in the future....
What's more, I came to them to find out the situation, and the ultimate goal was to make them serve me. If you make one of these things, won't you find guilt for yourself in the future?
"Hey! Mankind! How did you get in? Iron Tong blushed and asked loudly as he pointed at Locke.
"Hey, Iron Vices, take it easy." Klitsch walked to the front of the stage, "I brought him in." ”
"He's our savior now, you don't need to be so troublesome!" Klitch looked at the goblins around him with a smile, "He's the lord of this human territory!" Lord Harvey! ”
"Hello, I'm Rock Harvey, the de facto controller of this vast land. Welcome to my land". Locke greeted them with a smile, bowed and said, "Sorry to interrupt your meeting, but I don't think you have to, in fact, we have a better solution." ”
The goblins looked at each other, and their eyes were fixed on the iron tongs.
"Talk about humanity." Iron Tong looked at Locke intently, "I want to know what you think about this." ”
"As a person in power, I can understand what your trade prince thinks." Locke pondered and said, "Because, in your eyes, I am also a vested interest!" ”
Locke said with a smile, he didn't quibble, and that was the case. The products they make are ultimately the ones that create value for themselves.
"As a vested interest, if the people below me do this. I will accept a certain amount of negotiation and will make certain concessions, but you will destroy my machine and my production line, which is absolutely unforgivable! I will hang on the gallows those who sabotage my production equipment. ”
"And if you really do? It will surely anger your Prince of Trade. And the destruction of production machinery will usher in a fierce counterattack from your trade prince, and you may all end up being thrown into the sea and become a delicious meal for sharks! ”
"We're not going to back down!" Iron Tong looked at Locke and said angrily, "Our people will eventually hit the Prince of Trade!" Get everything we deserve! ”
"Take it easy," Locke said with a smile, "I'm not done yet, please be patient." ”
Iron Tong looked at Locke with a grunt, clasping his hands to his chest.
"I was thinking from your trade prince's point of view, and now I'm thinking from your point of view."
Locke looked at them, and then his expression became serious, he raised his hand in the air, and let out an angry voice, "Why do we work so hard and only get paid a few silver coins a month?!" And it can't be distributed on time? And the machines we build can sell thousands of times the value! We came early and left late, worked diligently, worked overtime day and night, had no holidays, and had no benefits. Why is this!? ”
"As the creators of wealth, we can't enjoy the good life that wealth brings! Just one piece of clothing requires most of our life's savings! Is this fair?! It's not fair! ”
"We need wealth! That's right! It's up to us to fight for it! We're going to eat! We want wealth! ”
Locke held up his hand, the shouter.
"Hi, Cleich. Where did you find this human lord? A goblin whispered to the goblin pilot, "Honestly, I like what he says." ”
"Uh-huh! Aha! Klee cried out in echo Locke, talking to the goblin. Well, he's my friend, at least for now, you just have to remember that. ”
In the room, the expressions of the goblins who had been grim-faced softened.
Iron Tong no longer glared at Locke, as if he had seen a like-minded comrade-in-arms, and looked excitedly at Locke's shouting there.
"So," Locke gasped and said to the goblins around him, "I understand your actions, but your actions are very dangerous, and they pose a great threat to your personal safety. ”
"You know what kind of influence your trade prince has in your world. When they know that there are people who question his authority, you all know what the consequences are. ”
"Your Lord." Iron Tong's expression relaxed, and he walked up to Locke's side and asked with a little excitement, "Please forgive my offense." Do you really have a solution? ”
"Yes!"
"I have a way to hide you all and have you serve me. You will be able to get a stable job, a good pay, benefits, holidays, etc. You can all have the treatment I offer those airship engineers. ”
Locke looked at them with a smile, "Now, it's up to you how you choose." Are you willing to live incognito? ”
"The price is to abandon everything you have in your goblin world."
"Your wives and children, your families, everything you have will be cut off from the world before you."
One by one, the goblins fell silent, and Locke watched them continue.
"You will have the maximum freedom to enjoy the value created by the machines you produce!"
"Think about it, this would have been unthinkable in your past world!"
